I have an EB GLi V8 Wagon, so i'd love to know too....
I went from the GLi cluster, to a Fairmont cluster, and the issues disappeared.... I'd say it's just a dodgy batch of clusters, or that the GLi clusters drop down :/

9 Screws, and 20 mins of your time!...
I've gotta put the EB Fairmont cluster back in tonight, so i'll be able to confirm if it's just the cluster or not..!

Nope, wiring harness *should* be the same between GLi, and Fairmont.
Fairmont GHIA will be different though.

Fair enough, thanks man. And to think that I just spent 150 bucks on a tacho cause mine doesnt have one, I could have just changed the cluster!
